lady, please calm down

Chapter 332 Huaibei Tiger and Leopard
"The God of Huaibei shot four arrows in a row to win the first gold medal and strengthen our country's prestige!"The Golden State Warriors unfortunately lost and only won the silver medal, and lost their composure after the game! 》

"On the first day of competition, Daqi won four gold medals!What a win! 》

"Exclusive Interview with Bow and Arrow Champion Jiang Huaixiong - I am a soldier." 》

"The diplomatic missions from various countries highly praised the athletes of Daqi!" 》

"Some remarks about King Chu after the game - Sports is the epitome of all walks of life! 》

On July 26, Ayu stayed up all night in the printing department of Daqi Qiyao Magazine. She picked up a newspaper that still smelled of ink, and a proud smile slowly appeared on her tired face.

These days when she comes to Tokyo, she doesn't just focus on falling in love.

At least, her second uncle told her to slowly take over the work of Qiyao Magazine, and she did it relatively smoothly.

Qiyao Magazine has been receiving subsidies from the "Newspaper Development Foundation" all year round, so it is impossible to be completely independent.

If you are being taken care of by others, you are not qualified to talk about independent personality.

Ayu appointed a scholar named He Xingfu recommended by her second uncle as the deputy editor of Qiyao.

Today's newspaper is a masterpiece jointly produced by the two. It reports on the grand events of the sports games, focusing on describing the Huaibei Army and the King of Chu.

After the first cooperation, He Xingfu was surprised by Ayu's praise of the King of Chu. She seemed to be a well-educated and reserved girl, but once the King of Chu was mentioned in the manuscript, she was not stingy with her disgusting words of praise, and the abundant emotion between the lines was... He Xingfu could feel it.

But Ayu didn't realize that she was mindlessly flattering him. People originally thought that his uncle was a great hero!

In turn, Ayu was also surprised by He Xingfu's insight into and grasp of people's hearts.

Especially "On the first day of competition, Daqi won four gold medals!"What a win! ” and “Diplomas from various countries praised Daqi’s athletes! 》The two reports written by He Xingfu greatly satisfied the vanity of the people of Qi with easy-to-understand slang titles and the gimmick of "Friends were shocked, foreigners admired".

Also, the Han people in the Central Plains have experienced the Zhou and Qi dynasties for 200 years, but they have rarely achieved success in foreign campaigns.

But there are countless examples of huge losses.

Over time, the superstitious belief that foreign forces are far superior to the Han people has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This time, being able to witness one's own soldiers crushing foreign warriors in terms of physical strength and combat skills at home can finally crack a crack in this deep-rooted thought.

At the same time, it also aroused some people's thinking. From an individual perspective, I am no different from Jin and Xia, so why do I keep losing in battles?

If you don't blame the soldiers for defeat, then the problem can only be in the court!

And published in the second edition, "Some remarks about King Chu after the game - Sports is the epitome of all walks of life!" ” seems to answer the readers’ doubts.

In this report written by Ayu, he describes the vigorous development of all walks of life in Huaibei at large, and then extends it to the excellent performance of Daqi athletes on the sports field, drawing a conclusion. At this time, Daqi is on a path of ZTE. On the road, the present of Huaibei is the future of Daqi, and repeated championships on the sports field are just superficial manifestations of this general trend.

The logic of this report does not seem to be very rigorous, but Ayu uses a colorful and grand narrative to describe a bright future that is just around the corner for the general public.

As for who is the minister of rejuvenation who will lead Daqi to a better future and a new era, is there any need to say?
Except for King Chu, don’t think about it!
Ayu Yinshi left the newspaper office and went back to Yulin Lane to sleep for two hours. After getting up, like a tireless little top, she rushed to the Xicheng campus again.

On the road, there were crowds of people going to the same destination.

Everywhere we went, there was talk about yesterday's game. Everyone's faces were filled with excitement because of the good results on the first day.

This kind of vitality has not been seen in Tokyo for many years.

The highlight of today's competition is the four-by-300-meter relay. Compared with other technical events, this pure competition of speed is the simplest but also has the most visual impact.

Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of people, the athletes from Qi State fell behind at the start, caught up with each other, and finally overtook the last person in front of them two or three feet away from the finish line, crossing the finish line first.
Chen Chu had seen too many similar scenes in later generations, so his emotional threshold was naturally much higher than others.

But the entire West Campus has fallen into a state of madness, and the people outside are cheering and jumping, shouting meaninglessly, and the momentum is like a landslide.

On the viewing platform, the military general's face turned red as he smiled, and he jumped up and down like a monkey in excitement, as if a group of demons were dancing wildly.

Ayu, who was very reserved outside, also gave Chen Chu a kiss on the cheek as if she was in a daze.

Chen Chu, who was relatively calm, looked around at all the living beings.

As he thought, the reaction of the civil servants was relatively cold compared to the past. Only officials who had won the imperial ranking and the roll call outside Donghua Gate were qualified to receive the cheers of the people.

Now, this honor was taken away by vulgar warriors, and they were naturally unhappy.

On the other hand, Jiarou, who was in the middle, seemed to be completely immersed in the current atmosphere. She stood up at some point, with a pair of catkins tightly clenched into small fists, and her cheeks were flushed with excitement. Add a little more color.

As if feeling being watched, Jiarou turned her head and saw Chen Chu staring at her. Perhaps out of fear, Jiarou subconsciously bent down and saluted Chen Chu.

Even though he was slightly flustered, he was still very well behaved.

But after the salute, Jia Rou couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Even if Chen Chu had the power, he was still her nominal minister. There was no reason for her to salute Chen Chu first.

Seeing this, Chen Chu smiled brightly, got down on one knee, clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to His Highness on his thousandth birthday, and congratulations to me!"

All the civil servants and generals on the viewing platform didn't know what happened, but when Jing Peng, Tong Qi and others saw this scene, they immediately imitated it.

The sound of armor plates scraping against each other on the stage made a clanging sound.

The other civil servants had no choice but to kneel down one by one, regardless of their unwillingness.
"Congratulations to His Highness on his thousandth birthday! Congratulations to me!"

For a time, the audience on the auditorium was full of civil and military personnel congratulating each other, which was joined by the roaring cheers outside the stadium.

This is the most glorious moment since Jiarou's regency.
In the past, she was called a princess, but in fact she was just a frightened little girl who depended on others. She had never had the experience of being worshiped by all the ministers and cheered by all the people.

I felt numb all over my body, and the cilia on my body stood up. I couldn't help but trembled: "King Chu Chu, please get up, everyone, please get up."

Chen Chu stood up and smiled meaningfully at Jiarou.

After learning that Jia Rou had raised twelve girls in the palace the day before yesterday, Chen Chu reflected on whether he had suppressed Jia Rou too much.

Due to irreconcilable stance issues, Chen Chu and Jia Rou were born enemies.

Chen Chu wants an obedient rag doll. If Jia Rou doesn't want to be at his mercy, she might try to do something desperate.

Before she actually implements the plan, it will be easy for the two of them to talk to each other; if she once takes action and tears away the fig leaf between the monarch and his ministers, Chen Chu will have no choice but to replace him, and Jia Rou's end will not be much better.

Chen Chu really didn't want to do that unless it was just in case.

Therefore, Chen Chu tried to give Jiarou some semblance of respectability, hoping that the latter would not do stupid things.

Since the 27th, Jiarou, who was originally only required to show up two days before the game, seems to be addicted to watching the game. She has to visit the stadium in person every day after the court.

And the entire city of Tokyo seemed to have started a grand carnival, always in an inexplicable state of excitement.

However, no matter how enthusiastic the mood is, it will eventually come to an end.

On the fifth day of August, the nine-day Four Nations Games concluded.

The people in Tokyo are still a little uncomfortable, but the imperial court has begun intensive preparations for the funeral of Emperor Daxing.

The emperor's funeral follows the ancient system and the coffin must be kept for at least six months before burial.

Such an ancient system also has a certain basis.

First of all, the emperor's mausoleum project is huge and cannot be completed overnight. If the emperor dies suddenly and is not prepared, the coffin will be suspended for six months to squeeze out the time to build the emperor's mausoleum.

Furthermore, when the emperor dies, the emperor's relatives must also abide by the rules and are not allowed to marry within 26 months.

Even the family members of ministers and officials are not allowed to marry within one year, and they are not allowed to have sex within three months.But if those children who are supposed to get married wait for one or two years, they will become old maids.

It is not against the law to get married during the coffin period, but the wedding date can be brought forward, which is a more humane rule.

Today, the royal family is weak and there is only one woman in charge, so "keeping everything simple" has become a tacit understanding among the officials.

Two months after Liu Yu's coffin was laid, the funeral was scheduled for August [-]th.

On August [-], under the auspices of Chen Chu, Fan Gongzhi, Zhang Chunxiao, Xu Derang and other important ministers, the dragon body was moved from the Ice Palace to Xuande Hall and rested on the Zi Palace on the central treasure bed.

Condolences from all parties are accepted.

But a few days ago, everyone was cheering hoarsely for the sports meeting at the West Campus, and suddenly they entered a state of sadness, a little reluctant.

On the night of August [-]th, Mao Dan secretly brought a small bundle into Xuande Hall.

Chen Chu found a place where no one was hiding and opened it, feeling warm in his heart.

Inside the bag, there are two pairs of socks, two pairs of underwear, and a pack of strawberries.
No need to ask, it's from Caizhou again.

Even today, Chen Chuzao doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, but Mao'er still maintains the habit he had when the two of them first fled to Qifengling, sewing close-fitting clothes for him with his own hands.

Regardless of whether the two are together or not, the cat will always send them thick clothes in winter, single clothes in summer, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and rare food.

Chen Chu could even imagine certain scenarios, such as the cat tasting something delicious that she had never eaten before. She would definitely first think that the official had not eaten it yet and needed to send it to him for a taste.

Strawberries are one of the few fruits that Chen Chu likes to eat. No, after the first harvest of fruits was harvested, Maoer immediately asked someone to bring some.

Thinking of cats, Chen Chu always felt an inexplicable sense of security.

Chen Chu asked Mao Dan to take the socks and underwear back, and returned to the hall with the strawberries.

Royal funerals are similar to those of ordinary people, and they also require wakes.

The elders are already old, and most of them go home to rest after working hard all day. The young generals, dressed in plain clothes, knelt in a row on the futons on one side of the hall.

Compared to the large number of courtiers, the royal family seemed a little deserted.

During the turmoil two months ago, King Lu and the third prince both killed each other's wives, children, and relatives. Most of those who survived were the princesses who seemed to pose no threat to the throne at that time.

Among them, Jiarou is the eldest, and there are seven or eight little girls below, ranging from hairpins to seven or eight years old.

At this time, the lights in the hall were dim, and they were kneeling on the side of the large coffin, feeling quite helpless.

The younger princesses regard Jiarou as their backbone, and Jiarou also looks like an elder sister, holding the two little girls in her arms one by one.
It's just that Jiarou herself is not big, and her slightly dull expression at this moment shows confusion.

It seems that he doesn't know how to go on in the future.

Chen Chu, who stood behind the big pillar in the hall, watched silently for a while and sighed silently.

If it weren't for the contrary position, who would be interested in bullying a little girl who has no father and no mother? What's even more hateful is that this little girl is even more beautiful than her mother.

But today's Chen Chu is no longer the Tongshan Dutou who only needs to take care of the cats and tigers' food and clothing.

Dalang, Peng Er and others followed him desperately, hoping to have a good future.

Several sworn brothers have spent all their wealth trying to get rich.

More than 2 Huaibei soldiers followed him, hoping that his family could live a good life.

Once you start this path, you can only go on it.Not only can’t I stop, I can’t even think too much about right or wrong.
Chen Chu shook his head in a self-deprecating manner, shaking off the most useless pity from his head. He walked up to Zhe Yanwen and the others, took out the bag of strawberries, and distributed a few to each of them.

Several people were eating with great joy, and their lips were stained with red juice. They looked a little funny and incompatible with the solemn spiritual hall.

Chen Chu couldn't help but whisper: "Go behind the curtain to eat, be careful if the Yanguan sees it and take a copy of yours!"

Who among these people is afraid of public officials?
But Chen Chu's words still had an effect. Several people stood up and walked behind the white curtain with a wink.

Then, Chen Chu glanced at Jia Rou again, grabbed the remaining half pack of strawberries and walked over.

Because of his movements, the other mourning officials in the mourning hall couldn't help but look over.

Chen Chu didn't take it seriously and put the strawberry down in front of Jia Rou. The latter looked up in confusion, not knowing why.

As the saying goes, a girl should be pretty and filial. She is dressed in white gauze and a silk hairpin with white silk flowers. The upturned face is sad but also confused. Chen Chu was stunned for a moment.

Jia Rou was nervous for a moment when she was stared at so boldly. She quickly lowered her head and said softly: "King Chu, what are you doing?"

"Oh. I sent some fresh fruits from home for your highnesses to try."

"."

Jiarou is speechless. This is the mourning hall of her father!It's disrespectful to eat here!
But Chen Chu's expression just now didn't seem to be deliberately teasing others. Jia Rou couldn't help but think of the information she had recently obtained while secretly investigating Chen Chu's background.

Maybe he really doesn’t know the etiquette of China?

Thinking of this, Jiarou felt a little relieved and just said: "Thank you, King Chu."

Chen Chu nodded and turned to leave. Jia Rou hesitated for a moment, but took the initiative to call out softly, "King Chu, stay here."

"Is there anything else, Your Highness?" Chen Chu turned around.

Jia Rou drooped her eyelids and looked at the ground and said: "King Chu, when my father was still alive, he often said that Chen Shuai is loyal to the country and will be a pillar of our Qi Dynasty in the future. King Chu is also the minister who was left to the prince by his father. "

"."

Chen Chu was stunned and almost laughed. Will Liu Yu treat him as a green onion during his lifetime?

This Jiarou's face doesn't change when she lies, and her heart doesn't beat!
The reason why she said this was simply to make Chen Chu appreciate the Liu family's kindness, and then make Chen Chu remain loyal to Liu Qi.

But after all, Jiarou was raised in a deep palace and did not have enough understanding of the cruelty of politics. For an ambitious and powerful minister, let alone your father and brother who promoted him, even if Jiarou promised him with his body, he would still not be able to plan for his family and the world. Will be soft-hearted.

Sure enough, seeing that Chen Chu didn't answer, Jia Rou had no choice but to continue: "Now, Da Qi is in a troubled time. I hope that the King of Chu will help me stabilize the situation and revive Da Qi."

Chen Chu pondered for a moment, but then said: "If Your Highness does not disappoint me, I will protect Your Highness's safety."

After saying that, Chen Chu saluted again and turned around to go to the general disciples.

There was a promise in his words, but he only promised to keep His Highness safe.
Jiarou, who was sitting on her knees, couldn't help but lose consciousness. The youngest Princess Jiaxi was nestled in Jiarou's arms, her big eyes flashed, looking out the window at the disk-like moon, and suddenly whispered: "Sister, it's Mid-Autumn tonight. .”

Hearing this, Jiarou couldn't help but turn her head and look out the window.
The clear light spreads over the city wall, and it’s a Mid-Autumn Festival night for family reunions.

The people outside the imperial city should be celebrating with each other at this moment.
Jia Rou withdrew her gaze, looked around at the young girls, and then glanced at the coffin. Suddenly her nose became sore and she shed two lines of tears.

Seeing this, Jiaxi quickly stretched out her chubby little hands to help her sister wipe them, and said anxiously: "Sister, please don't cry. When I grow up, I will help my sister fight off the Huaibei tigers and leopards!"

"Hush! Stop talking nonsense!"

Jiarou, who was usually pleasant to her sisters, was so frightened that she quickly covered Jiaxi's mouth.
　The sports meeting section originally existed in the outline, but the boss gave bad feedback and ended it quickly.

　　I originally thought that sports were one of the few peaceful means besides war that could enhance cohesion and enhance pride.

　　It’s really not like living a hard life without living.
　　
　　Alas, I have worn out my T1 three times, and I feel very depressed.
